On Monday, attorneys released a statement that PETA and Slater had reached a settlement, which will see 25% of any future revenue from the images (the famous selfie and another similar image) will be donated to charities dedicated to protecting crested macaques in Indonesia.

This was after Slater’s lawyers tried to get the court case thrown out, arguing that animals can’t claim copyright. He also previously claimed that PETA had the wrong macaque, alleging that Naruto was the wrong age and gender for the monkey in the photo.

However, on August 4th, the lawyers notified the appeals court they were nearing a settlement and asked the judges not to rule.

On Monday, Slater and PETA said in a joint statement: “PETA and David Slater agree that this case raises important, cutting-edge issues about expanding legal rights for non-human animals, a goal that they both support, and they will continue their respective work to achieve this goal.”
